    45+3' Harness thwarts Archer's venomous drive. #cafc 2 #avfc 1

    Chukwemeka has a shot, Harness blocks with  delicate part of his anatomy and it goes out for a corner. Harness gets up gingerly.

    Corner taken short, Watson intercepts, and the ref blows up for half time.

    Yeah indeed. I’ve enjoyed all the games in the cup so far. Not sure if the players feel a little less pressure, or because the under 21 teams are maybe weaker defensively but we’ve played some exciting football.

    CBT more impact in 2 minutes than Kirk in 42, sadly
    Feel like Kirk has been very tidy overall actually, has moved the ball well in some tight positions and has defended well. Just does not feel like a winger, especially when you compare him to our others.

    Love to know what goes through his mind.

    Looking to see who he can take on loan in January. Hopefully we are doing the same.

    Gunter has been diabolical!
    chases the ball, high pressure then jogs back! Looks the least seasoned pro out there

    I meant more attacking impact. He is supposed to be an attacker.

    Imagine Elerewe and Bakrin lining up alongside a country's most capped player only to find you're better than him.

    England ladies 8-0 after 44 minutes. 
    Can we keep this thread football orientated?

    Agreed. He's offered little going forward, and I don't think he has the engine to play wing back.

    Not a bad first half. Villa decent going forward. More goals in this game. Hope we get more than them. CBT looks like he has the beating of their defender.

    He can borrow Gunter or Morgan if he likes. Kirk even.

  • We need to think about Friday and next week, but I hope we don't weaken ourselves too much with our subs.

    Decent team performance overall. Well taken goal from Burstow after he missed an easier chance earlier. Usual pick and mix from Watson, Arter and Morgan. Not good enough for the first team.
    The two centre backs Bakrin and Elerewe did pretty well. Clayden looks good until the final pass.
    Kirk tidy at the back but no attacking penetration.
    CBT will already be giving his full back nightmares after just 5 minutes.
    We deserve to be ahead.
  • What a fun game. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. 

    AV look poor at the back but break with pace and verve. Their 36 - Archer looks like a real prospect. To be fair, our number 48 - Burstow does too! 

    Our midfield looks strong at this level. Arter in particular looks fired up, Morgan showing his range of passing. 

    Poor Charlie Kirk still looks well off it, though. 
  • That was a really enjoyable first half with both teams playing some lovely football.

    This is a very talented young villa team. Lots of neat passing and always looking dangerous on the breakaways
    They are unlucky to be losing and charlton will do well to win this.

    Enjoying your commentary aliwibble as always - thanks.

    By the way, in an off moment and when there’s nothing else to talk about - can you explain what your icon is all about 😄
    Looks like an impressionist piece of art imitating the classic Lemmings from the retro video game to me. 
    Yep, specifically the moment before the "Oh no...." *BOOM*

    Forgot it was an early kick off, but started watching in time for Mason’s goal. Worth the ‘price of admission’ alone. What a great finish! He’s looking very good in open play, really nice first touch, and decent passer of the ball too.

    Dear me sounds like Gunter is displaying his true worth again. Unless we get a CB back, we're going to struggle in the league sadly.

    Unfair to lump Morgan in with Gunter
